Charges were dismissed for the second time against actress Robin Givens, who was ticketed for running over an elderly pedestrian's leg.
County Court Judge Steven Leifman dismissed the case Monday because the Miami police officers who were present in court didn't witness the accident and couldn't testify to the cause of the accident. Also, a civilian witness didn't appear in court.
Givens, a star of the 1980s TV comedy "Head of the Class" and the ex-wife of boxer Mike Tyson, struck Maria Antonia Alcover as she was about to step onto the sidewalk after crossing a busy city street on Jan. 28, police said.
After stopping at a red light, Givens turned the corner and hit the 89-year-old woman, sending her into a backward fall, police said. The back wheel of Givens' Mercedes-Benz sport utility vehicle ran over Alcover's right leg.
Givens was ticketed for failing to use due care with a pedestrian in the crosswalk, an offense carrying a fine of less than $70. Charges were first dropped in September when the officers didn't come to court.
